An attempt at somewhat regular "journaling" about the daily life of the Pellow family--Lance, Gina, Rowan and Tate. Mainly, Rowan and Tate's milestones, the fun and struggles of being a stay-at-home mom and recording all of our family fun.

Rowan's "special special" song

Lately Rowan has been obsessed with a song I sing to her at bedtime. She calls it her "special special" song. Anytime the word "special" is used, she says it twice (i.e. "special special treat", "special special surprise", etc.) So, here is Rowan's special, special song. It's part of the song "Lullaby" by the Dixie Chicks.

*They didn't have you where I come fromNever knew the best was yet to comeLife began when I saw your faceAnd I hear your laugh like a serenade

How long do you want to be lovedIs forever enough, is forever enoughHow long do you want to be lovedIs forever enoughCause I'm never, never giving you up

I slip in bed when you're asleepTo hold you close and feel your breath on meTomorrow there'll be so much to doSo tonight I'll drift in a dream with you

How long do you want to be lovedIs forever enough, is forever enoughHow long do you want to be lovedIs forever enoughCause I'm never, never giving you up*

For good measure, here is Tate's special song, "Godspeed", also by the Dixie Chicks.

*The rocket racer's all tuckered outSuperman's in pajamas on the couchGoodnight moon, we'll find the mouseAnd I love you
